The story of a guy that moves to la, in his forties, to become a cop and his story with two other rookies in focus.
Of course, in the first two episodes (the only I've seen so far) they have managed to be in the center of every violent crime happening in L. A. constantly. They see more violent extreme action in the first two episodes than many cops in ten years on the street.
It's just totally unrealistic. That's ok, some may like that they are mostly shallow as people, and it's the action all the time. This series seems to be a more modern version of Adam-12 and Chips from the 70's, and just like those shows, is both unrealistic and also you can see this is some Hollywood writers idea of what it entails.
Filled with many cliches. Love the one that many of these always have "forget everything you learned in the academy, this is the streets" which kinda makes one wonder why even have an academy or why they can't train folk for the job? Watching it does not feel like one is watching actual people being police, but very neatly constructed exercises in writing played out on screen. It's really not for me, I can tell already. It's actually cheesy. And again, unrealistic in almost all ways.

Went in wanting to like it as I know the main character from "Bonus Family": and liked him there. I should say I couldn't make it through one full episode. For one thing, in this day and age any director making the decision to use Shaky-Cam ought to be ignored forever. Seriously, shaky cam? It isn't a documentary, and if it were documentary hand held cameras don't shake around as much as this. It is a totally bogus decision that literally ruins the experience.
On top of that the script had so many plot holes it was non existent. I don't think it's a spoiler to say any policeman in any police dept, involved or that was at a shooting, will get their gun checked against the deceased. Not here though. Nothing makes sense in this, it is not ground breaking, the background music, the style is not new or innovative, and again, shaky cam. Used as an attempt to make it more gritty, and fails miserably. I gave up.
